Athens / Back after a third visit to the city, and this time I managed to cover so much more. I’ve now completely overhauled my Athens guide, adding all my latest recs around the city from chic wine bars to the city’s best boutiques. It’s the perfect one day itinerary that can be squeezed in between island hopping or expanded into a weekend in the city. 🔗 in you-know-where. #athens #athensvibe #athensgreece

Hydra | After arriving to this dreamy island, just an hour from Athens we checked into the impossibly chic @mandrakibeachresort - and what a special place it was. Tucked away in its own secluded bay and only accessible by water taxi or a long coastal walk, Mandraki is the kind of hideaway that makes you forget an outside world exists. It’s one of the newer boutique stays on the island and it’s has quickly become one of my favourite Greek island beach retreats. Unlike staying in Hydra town, here it’s all about peace, privacy and waking up with the Aegean just steps away from your suite. The design is pared-back and elegant with a touch of sun-bleached, barefoot luxury that Greece does so well. I’ve already shared my stay on roamandthrive.com and already posted a few more peeks on my stories… Who’s up for a Greek summer this year? [ PR stay] #hydra #hydragreece #mandrakibeachresort
